Tim Curry imbued Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a generosity that surpasses most actors' fleeting efforts. This role cemented him as an icon. Imagine my surprise, then, when I found his memoir, **A Little Light Mischief: An Unauthorized Tim Curry Memoir**, emotionally reserved. That's not to say this wasn't a good book. Curry is witty and engaging, and if he were telling these stories over dinner, I'd consider the evening a success. However, the book's greatest strength li...

Tim Curry's memoir, *A Little Light Mischief: An Unauthorized Tim Curry Memoir*, begins with a scene that could only happen to him: he walks into a New York cinema to watch *The Rocky Horror Picture Show*, only to be thrown out by a clerk who accuses him of being an imposter. He hands her his passport, wins the argument, and leaves anyway. It is the perfect overture for a man who has spent his life pretending to be himself in public and someone else in private. From there he rewinds to a childh...

My favorite movies all share one thing: they star Tim Curry. There's just something about him and the characters he's brought to life that's utterly fascinating, both on a personal level and from a craft perspective. How does someone so masterfully embody a "humble" butler, a killer clown, and a musical cross-dressing alien? What life experiences does he draw upon?Curry has always been a very private person, remaining unattached, as far as we know, throughout his life. Even after he suffered a l...

"Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh." That's not as luxurious as it sounds; it's actually part of what makes [Frank-N-Furter] so vulnerable. It's also a physically exhausting philosophy; and one I pretty much took to heart at the time. Being a huge Tim Curry fan, I was held in antici.....pation of this memoir. I grabbed *A Little Light Mischief: An Unauthorized Tim Curry Memoir* hot off the press. ~ and basically read it in a day. A thoroughly p...

Tim Curry warns readers in the first paragraphs of "A Little Light Mischief: An Unauthorized Tim Curry Memoir" that he won't give you a masterclass on acting, teach you any life advice, or speak at all about his romantic history – okay, expectations have been set! What Tim Curry *does* promise is to share his perspective on acting and his life seen through his most iconic roles. It's a treat because there's been a *lot* of those roles. Fans of everything from "Rocky Horror Picture Show" to "Clue...

The first words that sprang to mind when I finished Tim Curry's *A Little Light Mischief: An Unauthorized Tim Curry Memoir* might sound like I'm damning it with faint praise, but hear me out. This book is simply pleasant and delightful. Yes, that's all there is to it. First off, *A Little Light Mischief: An Unauthorized Tim Curry Memoir* probably won't be making many headlines when it's released. Curry doesn't spill the beans on his love life.

"Everybody has a well of hurt and darkness somewhere. Many people never find a means to channel it, whereas I’ve flushed it out often, for a living." This was one of the better memoirs that I've read. Both entertaining and heartfelt, Tim Curry comes across as genuine and modest; even his occasional remarks about sex appeal feel as though they are made with a snide but knowing wink. He does give honest, less than stellar feedback about a couple of people that he worked with yet still manages to ...
